A world where humans and all life flourish together
Protecting Nature
The EarthElders is a global environmental non-profit working to preserve Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and to empower Traditional Guardians with the tools and resources they need to safeguard nature.
Original Peoples have a critical role to play in the conservation and regeneration of our dwindling ecosystems; their Indigenous Knowledge Systems are a leading climate solution.
Indigenous Peoples steward 80% of the world’s remaining biodiversity, yet, as our ecological crisis reaches dangerous tipping points, they now face unprecedented challenges.
Original Peoples carry deep ancestral knowledge of the interdependent relationships that underpin life on Earth—insights that hold a key to humanity’s collective future.

Preserving Ancestral Wisdom
The future begins with listening to those who walked before us
This short film by filmmakers Lucy Martens and Melanie Pyne is now in development as a full-length documentary.
Ancestral Wisdom holds the memory of how to live in right relationship with the Earth. In this time of ecological breakdown, the world's wisdom traditions carry the keys not only to survival, but to regeneration.
The EarthElders are working to elevate the role of Ancestral Wisdom to heal our planet for the benefit of the generations yet to come. Join us >
